The first search engine for charter and rental boat offers.

Boatsandgo the first platform which compares offers of charter boats and boatsharing set sails.

 

The first platform in the world that allows you to compare thousands of offers for charter boats, rental or  boatsharing deals from hundreds of different sites is Italian. Boatsandgo is the proposal of an innovative Lucanian startup based in Potenza and incubated at the Sviluppo Basilicata business incubator system at the UniBas University.

The system with a central search engine allows users to search, according to their preferences, offers to rent a boat of any type or size, in thousands of ports around the world. Once the search has been completed, the user will have all the options available in a list and can choose to contact the company offering the offer by email or to visit their website directly to make a reservation. In fact, Boatsandgo does not make or manage reservations, positioning itself as an independent third party in which the users can freely consult all the deals available having a clear and complete picture of the offers in the port from which they wish to sail.

A real revolution in the world of boating, welcomed with interest by hundreds of fleets and charter companies from all over the world who have decided to offer their products on the innovative Italian platform. Today Boatsandgo has over 20,000 boats and there are almost 1000 rental company sites to which it redirects its users. There are ports throughout the Mediterranean: Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Turkey as well as Italy but also the Caribbean and North America.

Now boating users have therefore a powerful tool to plan their holidays. At no additional cost and without the need for registration, they can have an eye on the entire available offer without having to search on different sites, all with a simple click. Once the search has been completed, each user will have a large number of filters available that can be used to narrow the list and find exactly the offers that meet their needs. The filters available range from the number of people, to the number of cabins from the year of construction or last refit of the boat, to the price. Each deal on the list is accompanied by a large number of information: multimedia or photos and videos of the boat to be rented, the rental conditions, information on the equipment of the boats as well as a map showing the boarding point. All this can be consulted without losing the list with the search results. Once the ideal boat has been found, the system offers two possibilities. The user can send a contact request directly to the company offering the boat or can go to their website and after having viewed the various possibilities, finalize thebooking directly.

"An important aspect of our initiative is that through our platform many will be able to see that a sailing holiday is not reserved for the elite but can be reached within everyone's budget" says Luciano Pergola CEO and founder of Boatsandgo, "to develop it starting from a simple idea was a very tough challenge for our whole team. Along the way we have been lucky to find partners and institutions that have supported us and now we are satisfied to have created a truly innovative and preforming product and we are ready to face the future challenges that the market will pose ".
